Course Announcement: Fraud Prevention and Risk Management for Managers

Fraud is the UK’s most common corporate crime, and every organisation is at risk. For SMEs, even a single incident can cause devastating financial losses. For larger organisations, the threat extends to compliance, with the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 introducing the Failure to Prevent Fraud offence.

Consistent protection is impossible without trained managers. They turn anti-fraud policy into daily practice – monitoring internal processes, implementing controls and supporting employees in identifying and raising concerns. Without this oversight, fraud risks are likely to be missed or mishandled, leaving organisations vulnerable to both costly financial losses and legal repercussions.

This CPD-certified course equips managers to recognise and mitigate fraud risks through both direct action and supervision of others. It provides a comprehensive understanding of fraud and its indicators, plus the legal duties to prevent and report it. The course also outlines practical steps managers should take to control fraud risks, including segregating duties, applying due diligence and supporting staff to report suspicions.

After completing the course, managers will have the knowledge and tools to protect their organisation against one of today’s fastest-growing threats, as well as support compliance with the UK’s anti-fraud laws.

This course is ideal for:

• Finance Managers and Controllers
• Procurement and Supply Chain Managers
• Construction Project Managers and Site Leads
• Compliance and Risk Managers
• Operations and General Managers
• IT and Cybersecurity Managers

By the end of this course, trainees will understand:
